Reading messages like these never gets old. ❤️

I'm so grateful to every single client who takes the time to leave a review, comment or share my posts. Knowing I've been able to help your dogs stay comfortable, active and enjoying life for longer means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you for trusting me with your wonderful dogs and horses and for supporting my small business. It really does mean the world. 🐾🐴

We can't stop our dogs getting older, but we can help them stay comfortable and keep doing the things they love for as long as possible.

Physiotherapy isn't just about treating injuries. It helps maintain strength, mobility and confidence as your dog ages, making everyday things like getting up, going for walks or climbing the stairs that little bit easier.

As dogs get older, they often start compensating without us even realising. Soft tissue work can help ease those overworked muscles, reduce tension and keep them moving more comfortably.

Drop me a message to get your dog booked in.

Earlier this year, Martha started obsessively chewing one of her front feet. Like most people, I assumed it was allergies, the wet weather, or something irritating her skin. I tried changing her food and looked at all the usual causes.

Then I treated her shoulder.
The foot chewing gradually stopped, and over the last few months the hair has slowly grown back. After her groom today, it's the first time in months she's had completely white toes again. 🤍

I've noticed it tends to flare up after canicross, so this summer I've been focusing on her shoulder exercises to hopefully stop it becoming an issue again this season.

Of course, not every dog that chews their feet has pain, but this was a good reminder for me that licking and chewing isn't always a skin problem. Sometimes it's worth looking a little deeper.

A treatment session for Thomas today, focusing on persistent poll and lumbar tension, with the greatest restriction through the left side.

Although he's recovered well from his intermittent left hind stifle lameness, we're now working through the residual compensatory niggles that can linger after the primary issue has resolved. Stifle dysfunction commonly results in increased tension through the left quadriceps as they work harder to stabilise the joint, while altered loading of the limb places additional demand on the lumbosacral region. These compensatory patterns can then travel cranially, resulting in increased tension through the cervical region and poll as the horse adapts to maintain balance and movement.

One thing I'm particularly pleased with is how relaxed Thomas was throughout today's session. In the video he's allowing treatment of his temporalis muscle, which is a big milestone for him as he's historically been very head shy. Building trust is just as important as addressing the physical compensations.

Today's session focused on releasing the left quadriceps, improving lumbar and cervical mobility, and reducing compensatory soft tissue tension to help restore more symmetrical movement.

Thomas is feeling great and is all set for the local Dales Pony Show next weekend. Best of luck, Thomas! 🍀
